The 'Arab Spring': Five years on

In January 2011, President Ali Abdullah Saleh wanted to change the constitution in order to hold power for life, and a massive protest action occurred. There were political turmoil for several months, and the government forces killed hundreds of protesters.

In an incident known as "dignity Friday" on 18 March 2011, about 50 people died after armed men (including snipers at the top of the surrounding buildings) fired into peaceful demonstrators Hundreds of people were injured. .

In February 2012, President Saleh was forced to resign, and expectations for significant reform increased in the subsequent transition process. However, this process was rejected in September 2014. At that time, Huthis was an armed group whose members claimed Zayed Shi'ite Islam, entered Sana'a with the help of a faithful unit to Saleh.

After all, President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi and his government were forced to resign in the beginning of 2 015. Then, in March 2015, the military alliance of at least 10 Arab countries in Saudi Arabia began air strikes against Huthis. And I sent the ground troops to carry out the blockade of the sky and the sea.

The anti-Futi army committed war crime and other serious cruelty. The alliance led by Saudi Arabia indiscriminately performed an unequal air strike, targeted civilians and killed more than 2,000 people. So-called Islamic state armed forces attack Shi'a mosques and kill civilians

The Huthi army also committed serious violations of human rights, including the use of war crimes and indiscriminate shelling in civilized areas, attacks on hospitals and medical personnel, and the use of deadly forces against protesters. They also kidnapped and tortured the people who opposed them.

Also consider the 2011 Arab Spring protest movement and the demo that took place in the United States over the past five years. In the center of the Arab Spring are deep complaints about the aging of the Arab dictatorship regime, the anger of the security agencies, and the anger of unemployment. According to reasoning, a massive demonstration and an increase in protest actions show this: handling of minority police, anger towards the federal government, and employment opportunities.

In the past five years, the image of Tunisia in domestic and foreign media has changed from Arab spring cradle to last hope of Arab Spring. The devastating decline of the massive uprising (Syria and Libya) or military rule (Egypt) gradually strengthened Tunisia's position in emerging abnormal narrative centers. However, this may indicate a nonviolent outcome of the Tunisian Revolution, but it also increases the awareness of ongoing difficulties in the country.

Let's talk about Arab Spring! Arab Spring is a series of protests against various political forces in the Middle East. Although some revolts succeeded (Tunisia), some revolutions brought a moderate reform (Morocco and Kuwait), but the other revolts completely failed (Bahrain and Saudi Arabia). In fact, the Arab Spring has made Syria into a civil war, bringing the rise of the Islamic state, with little or no constructive change. The amazing fact is that the story is very different from the story that we led in 2011. However, reality is that the Arab Spring will never be a success as the basic problem of institutional failure will not be solved even if you overthrow evil dictators. Arab Spring is more complicated and movies are less. Revolutionaries need to resolve the general failure of the system and dismantle the organization under a vulnerable autocracy system in order to achieve real results.
